If I code a button widget like this (I'm using the version of GTK that came with Fedora Core 5)... GtkWidget *B = gtk_button_new_with_label (Label); g_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (B), "button-press-event", G_CALLBACK (Happened), "HELLO"); and the callback is this... Happened (GtkWidget *W, gpointer Data) { g_print ("ButtonHappened...|%s|\n", (char *) Data); } when Happened is executed, it doesn't print the data. That is, I get "ButtonHappened...||". But when I replace the parameter "button-press-event" in the call to g_signal_connect with "pressed", on execution the printout is as desired, "ButtonHappened...|HELLO|". Now, "button-press-event" is in lists of event types such as you find in the GTK 2.0 tutorial at http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/a2769.html As for "pressed", I don't know where I got it. It must have come along with some example I found in a newsgroup or on the Web. I haven't been able to find an event-type list anywhere that contains it, so I can't solve the mystery of why I get what I want when I use that parameter, but not with the "legitimate" parameter. -- Charles Packer http://cpacker.org/whatnews mailboxATcpacker.org _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
